Features: Reviewing the development of China's new literature over the 20th century, we find that prose, as one of the important literary genres of the new era, has not only fully inherited the tradition of prose but also innovated and developed. Especially since the 1990s, the rapid development of the press industry and the internet has actively promoted the exploration of the multiple dimensions of prose writing, giving rise to an unprecedented "prose fever." A large number of exploratory prose works have emerged, driving prose writing toward a more diverse and free direction. The ten authors collectively address ten different questions, offering readers comprehensive reflection and inspiration. This helps not only broad prose enthusiasts understand the cutting-edge exploration of contemporary prose writing but also provides insights into "what constitutes good prose" and "how to write good prose." The book also includes representative prose works selected by the ten authors themselves. Beyond reading and appreciation, readers can also gain an understanding of how they put into practice their perception of "good prose."
